Himalayan Tantra Men's Healing Tribe - Madison, WI

The Himalayan Tantra Men’s Healing Tribe is a group of men who are interested in cultivating and exploring energy, understanding the spiritual dimensions of their sexuality, and enjoying connection and camaraderie with other like minded men. We host daytime, evening, day-long and extended weekend gatherings to delve into these topics and share conviviality.

Our gatherings provide a safe and supportive environment for men to explore and cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves. Join us as we investigate and play with transformative practices, including Meditation, Breath Work, Satsang, Yoga, Conscious Touch and Play, and the awakening of our divine energies. Expand your consciousness, connect with like-minded souls, and share this powerful journey of self-discovery and integrated spiritual/sexual growth.

All of our meditation and group sessions are freely offered in service of the path. However, maintaining a Meet-Up Group is not without cost, and donations are welcome and help support the continuation of these offerings.

FACILITATION
Păo Shan, our teacher and facilitator, has been a yogi and meditation teacher for over three decades. He is also a lay-ordained Zen Buddhist Monk. He has dedicated his life to sharing the wonderful gift of Himalayan Tantra with fellow tantra seekers and students.

Many of us have never experienced intimacy as its own activity, rather than a prelude or foreplay to sex. While your body may become aroused during tantric practices, which is welcomed and natural, sex is neither the focus or the "goal." Intimacy can also involve personal vulnerability, so it's important that you can set and communicate boundaries with the group. Boundaries provide you with a container, where you can be relaxed and comfortable, while still exploring intimacy areas that may be new to you.

Group Sessions are a creative mix of sharing tantric practices, including nudity, intimacy, sensual, erotic and intimate masculine energy, while respecting and honoring our group and individual boundaries (our "Tantra Container").
Most sessions do not include penetrative exchanges of physical energy. This is a judgment-free and shame-free space.

Pǎo also offers private, 1-on-1 and couple sessions, in-person and virtually.
A “private session” is a discrete container of exploration of masculine energy - erotic, sensual, sexual, spiritual. It may include meditation, sensual massage, conscious touch, chakra energy, sexual and erotic energy exploration, trauma-work, or any combination of these. We create a space together, where trust underpins spontaneity and play, vulnerability and healing. The “object” of examination originates from the individual’s relationship to his own sexuality, and has the intention of integration within the spiritual realm of consciousness.

Pǎo offers a free 30 minute Virtual Consultation
For private session options, rates and booking availability, you can visit Pǎo's Calendly page HERE.

If you prefer to explore your practice privately, you can follow full length videos of many of Pǎo's sessions at Dancing Shiva Tantra Monastery & Healing Center Website, available within their Men's Nude Yoga Tribe Group area. You'll need to join as a site member (free) and then request to join the group in the "Community" section (also free). Becoming a tribe member also gives you the opportunity to connect with like-minded men from all over the world, and access all the group events that the Monastery offers.
